Tommy Pham ended a troubling 0-for-17 streak with a dramatic walk-off hit, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees in 11 innings. Pham's decisive moment came as he connected with a pitch from Devin Williams, driving the ball deep into left field, scoring Jack Suwinski from second base. This notable performance was crucial, especially following the Pirates' collapse, where they squandered a three-run lead in the ninth inning.

The early April MLB DFS slate is shaping up to resemble midseason dynamics, with rotations rolling over to aces and some teams relying on fifth starters. This variation in matchups creates opportunities for savvy fantasy players. Pitchers like Logan Gilbert from Seattle, facing a struggling Detroit lineup, stand out, while Shane Smith offers value as a rookie against Minnesota.

Key hitters include Kyle Tucker of the Cubs, who benefits from favorable conditions in Sacramento, and Corbin Carroll, who is positioned well at Yankee Stadium against a less-than-proven pitcher. Bargain options like Jack Suwinski and Nick Maton could offer significant upside, especially when paired with high-potential stacks like the Cardinals against Kyle Hendricks.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has sustained a jammed left wrist during a spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The injury occurred while he was attempting a diving catch. Initial X-rays returned negative, but further testing is scheduled to ensure no serious damage. Profar, a switch hitter, recently signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Braves and is coming off a strong season where he batted .280 with 24 home runs and 85 RBIs with the San Diego Padres.
